I've used the Bell Super 2R, The Giro Switchblade, and finally the Met Parachute. I chose the Parachute for a few reasons: It's super lightweight, doesn't look like shit, and when I'm not wearing the chin bar it looks like a regular trail helmet. I do struggle with figuring out how to climb with the chin bar. I've tried threading it into the straps on my fanny pack, but then it gets stuck on my saddle. I haven't tried ski strapping it to the bar though, so perhaps that'll be my next move.
My mom never told me life was like a box of chocolates, but she did tell me if I knocked out my teeth after wearing braces for 5 years as a teenager that she'd kick my ass, and I totally believe her. So I guess fear is my factor.
